I think I finally nailed this, but am waiting for Bruno's response.

Was this just a warning (ie. it still compiled) or a hard error?  That
test is already filtered on other known broken preprocessors; maybe we add
gcc 2.7 and earlier to the list of preprocessors that should skip that test.

Did you try with libsigsegv 2.6?

Can you do any debugging into this?  Is this using native frexpl or
gnulib's rpl_frexpl?

Ungetc is difficult to port.  I'm not sure how best to try and tackle
this; but enough people complain about it, that it may be worth skipping
those tests on known broken platforms.  At least m4 doesn't trip those bugs.
